TELESCOPIC OPERATION
Pull the lever1all the way toward you and
adjust the steering wheel forward or backward in
direction
3, to the desired position. Lock the
wheel by releasing the lever and ensure that the
lever has returned to its original position.
WARNING
Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for proper
steering operation and comfort. The driv-
er’s air bag inflates with great force. If you
are unrestrained, leaning forward, sitting
sideways or out of position in any way, you
are at greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious or
fatal injuries from the air bag if you are up
against it when it inflates. Always sit back
against the seatback and as far away as
practical from the steering wheel. Always
use the seat belts.

sary, because it reduces rear view clarity.
AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE

cally dims during night time conditions and ac-
cording to the intensity of the headlights of the
vehicle following you. The automatic anti-glare
feature is activated when the ignition switch is in
the ON position.
The indicator light will illuminate when the auto-
matic anti-glare feature is operating.
